Getting to the Heart of the Work for PK-12 English Learners

Facilitator, Author and Speaker :  Dr. Nancy Akhavan

Held Virtual Live      

Date:  Postponed.  A new date to be determined

Fee $200

English learners may have learning gaps from distance learning, they need to be taught in a way that meets their needs. We have to be honest and admit that learning gaps exist, and through carefully crafted instruction, we can close those gaps. Teachers need to teach direct lessons that support students in reading and writing instruction  and infuse subjects like science, math, and social studies with content-area literacy.  This workshop will discuss exactly what English learners need to increase their reading and writing ability, learn content and acquire academic English to excel in school and move toward redesignation. By using data to guide instruction, teachers can create lessons that meet student needs in language, literacy, and content.
